Review of Leprechaun 2 (1994) by Adam F — 27 Feb 2014
"Leprechaun 2" is a horror comedy where not all of the jokes hit but it's pretty enjoyable. I really enjoyed the titular villain being tricked into a drinking contest to diminish his telepathic powers and you will breathe a sigh of relief when you realize that this one really knows how silly the premise is and decides that if it can't be scary, it might as well be goofy.
Some of the humour falls completely flat (most of the one-liners are pretty bad) but overall even at its worst it's still enjoyable. The Leprechaun most often doesn't come on as a real horror icon, but more of a jerk that has no regard for human life and cares more about getting gold than about having his victims live through his pranks.
It's a lot of fun despite some bad acting and bad writing and it's a rare sequel that's better than the original. (Dvd, May 24 2012).
